  • Pull espresso shots and steam milk for flat whites and cappuccinos.
  • Split bills, process card payments and handle tip-outs at the end of shift.
  • Take orders on the POS tablet and read them back to avoid kitchen mistakes.
  • Mix cocktails, pour draught and serve shooters to spec at the bar.

  • At least 6 months of waitering, bar or coffee shop experience
  • Neat grooming and a friendly manner under pressure

What you get
